    Hey fellas,

    I can't seem to find any info from a search...

    I know that turning off the traction control doesn't completely turn off all the nannies....

    Has anyone been able to do that with a tune? I have been reading a lot about people using the Predator, but is there a program out there, like they have set up for LSX motors like HP Tuners?

    I haven't tried yet, but I don't imagine you would be able to pull off massive burnouts or donuts????

    Here is a crappy video that a friend of mine made of my C6.... let me know if you cant' see it...

    I was hoping to make one with the 300.

    Lots of LX burn out videos out there on youtube and streetfire. I myself don't have any but they are out there. Should have some responses pretty quick.

    What I do know is that burn outs are possible without a tuner, since disabling the ESP (holding down ESP button for 10 seconds) turns HAL (what we call the nanny) off by 90% in the SRTs.

    I thought pushing the button turned it 60% off and holding it in for 8-10 seconds actually turned it off 100%

    I dont do burn outs.... I have no desire to burn my tires up that quick.

    Just pushing the button turns it down 30% (70% on), holding it down for 10 seconds its 90% off.

    if you do the turn key trick it does turn it off all the way i believe.

    doesnt really matter though all you homos should have a predator anyway....you dont have to mess with this button crap.

    I'm not a homo, I'm just happy with my un-tuned SRT and not looking to prove anything. Hell, I figure being a red-head chicky driving this thing is intimidating enough. Now if the mustang drivers would leave me the hell alone! :happy:

    Yeah its possible from what I've heard. Personally I don't feel like wrestling with a 2 ton hunk of meanness. But then I'm into road courses.
